Hi, I'd like to put some "dynamic information" on a form that helps the user to fill the form.
Example: A project manager wants to create a translation task page (where he assigns a work unit to a translator). The project page (which contains the #formlink to create the translation task page) already has information stored that would help to narrow down which translators would be best suited for the task at hand (like source language, target language, needed area of expertise...). Now I could just preload the first suitable translator into the task form by using a query on the project page, of which the result (limit=1) could be appended to the #formlink query_string. But that's not what I want. I'd like to give the project manager some more freedom, while guiding him with data determined through the project's parameters: I'd like to have the full query result (a list of translators) on the translation task form. The project manager would then still need to type the translator's name (with auto-completion on all translators), but that's ok. But where do I get the input data for the query inside the form? There seems to be no way to pass anything else than preload data to a form (which can only end up in fields, as if the user filled it in). It would be really nice to have a way to supply arbitrary parameters to forms, which could be used (displayed, or used within inline queries...) in the forms (a bit like you use templates in MediaWiki). Is there a way which I'm just not seeing? Or if not, would it be feasible to implement something like that?
